Product description

“The theme of the album is one foreboding, of the gathering of socially divisive storm clouds, from the perspective of the personal to wider frames of inclusion,” Matthew says of Something Like a Storm. “The title comes from a demo originally recorded years ago. Given that it was roughly 20 minutes in length, and comprised of movements, I'd only written the first five lines of lyrics which are now the first lines on the album. Musically, the song on the album doesn't include anything from the original demo.”

Matthew Good has been prolific in the decades since the release of his debut album. His eleven studio albums have combined for nearly one million albums sold in Canada alone. Matthew has also been nominated for 21 Juno Awards including a Rock Album of the Year nomination for Chaotic Neutral, his most recent studio album.

Perhaps I'm biased because I am a hardcore Matthew Good fan, so take my rating with a grain of salt. This took a couple listens for me to come to like it. I was not initially a fan after the first 2 listens. There were of course a couple of stand outs, most notably "Days Come Down" and "Something Like a Storm," but the rest of the album came across as very safe and tame to me. Now, about 20 listens later, I think this is a solid, very cohesive album. I absolutely love every song and despite it still being a bit tame when compared to the rest of his repertoire, it nonetheless packs some intense (yet subtle) emotion as to be expected from Matt Good. The stand out track is definitely "Days Come Down" which in my opinion is an instant classic, and I hope it'll be picked as the main single from this album. I can't wait to hear it live, and think this album will result in a fabulous live show.
